Do you struggle with low back pain?

This short video shows the fascia in your lower back — the connective tissue beneath the muscles that should glide and move freely. When it becomes tight or restricted, it can contribute to stiffness, discomfort, and reduced movement.

Remedial massage can help release tension, improve mobility, and support your body’s natural movement.

If your lower back has been feeling tight, sore, or not quite right, book in and let’s work on getting you moving more comfortably.

🦓 ♾️ Did you know about the connections with neurodivergence and EDS/HSD/symptomatic hypermobility?

- Its can occur in all sizes mainly in girls/women
- Fat cannot be lost through diet or exercise as 'normal' fat can and this often leads to stigma
- Presents itself bilaterally and symmetrically throughout the body but normally sparing the hands/feet
- Lipoedema can also cause knock knees, flat feet and many joint problems, which can make walking difficult
- Considered a spectrum of Hypermobile EDS, hEDS, loose connective tissue disorder
- Often people with lipoedema can have anxiety/depression

FASCIA:

What is it?

🤸‍♀️ Made up of collagen, elastin and other proteins

⛹️‍♀️ Surrounds and permeates all our muscle and nerve fibres, blood vessles, organs…everything

🏋️ Acts as framework and strength for all our body parts helping maintain shape and position

🏄‍♂️ Reduces friction allowing muscles and tissues to move freely and smoothly

There’s so much more to fascia;
it is literally fascia-nating 😉
